Check-In and Orientation

When you first arrive in St. Louis, please check in at your hotel. Luggage is not permitted in the exhibit hall or the America’s Center.

If you will be arriving later than our scheduled exhibitor conference check-in hours (see below—and note that all times listed are in CST), please email us at urbana.exhibits@intervarsity.org with updated travel information.

For conference check-in, use the Washington Avenue (south) entrance. Follow the signs to the “Registration Check-In” area in Hall 5. All exhibiting organization booth staff must present a photo ID at check-in.

Parking Onsite at Urbana

Urbana cannot guarantee parking for exhibitors since the America’s Center does not own, operate, or control the surrounding public parking. Personal vehicles are not allowed in the loading dock areas, near overhead doorways, or in driveways except while exhibitors are moving in or out of the America’s Center. Vehicles parked illegally will be tagged and towed.

Moving in to the Exhibit Hall
